It's that time of year again. A time to reflect, give, share, and grow - to express gratitude.

In light of the giving season, we’re flipping the script! Instead of chatting with nonprofit thought leaders, we are highlighting the most touching stories of individuals who fiercely support nonprofits and their “why.”

Because without supporters, nonprofits couldn’t exist.

During the 12-day series, Maria will be exploring topics surrounding: hardships, perseverance, fundraising, social media, and the importance and value of online community. 

In this episode, Maria is chatting with Mark Cross, our Director of Sales at GoodUnited! Marks' passion for being a difference-maker for things like climate change, equality, suicide prevention, etc -  is undoubtedly contagious around the GoodUnited office.

This year, Mark created a birthday fundraiser on Facebook for a specific cause - Parkinson's disease, in support of his father.

For him, the cause is personal and it's real. 

Tune in to hear Mark's story and just how powerful social giving can be. Don't forget to grab a couple of tissues too.
